Description
Side view of a sambuk moored along the shore of Bahrain Island. In the central foreground a sambuk, a large double masted dhow (sailboat) with a upright bow and a highly angled stern, is moored in flat water. Behind it a number of dhows are also moored in water rippled by gentle waves. In the far distance one and two storey buildings and trees line the shore along the horizon.
